Nokia definitely has the most interesting concept phones. Nokia 888 Communicator is a striking futuristic concept phone. The phone, which uses liquid batteries, speech recognition, flexible touchscreen and touch-sensitive body cover,is designed by Tamer Nakisci and won the Nokia Design Award

2 . Nokia Aeon

Nokia Aeon was presented by Nokia on their website in the Research & Development section. What is so great about this phone is that it looks like it will actually go into production next February. Of course, its just a rumor, but still, makes us hope to actually see it someday in the GSM shop. All we know about it for now is that its a touchscreen phone and it looks fantastic.

3 . Sky “Sleak n Slim”

“Sleek & Slim” from SKY is another concept based on touchscreen technology. The phone has a discretely glowing touchpad, hideaway keys and generally utterly-fashionable minimalist design.

4 . Benq-Siemes “Snaked”

Benq designers thought of women too and presented Snaked. This is a “reptile” looking phone, creepy somehow, but still is very cool. The Snaked is a fashion phone for sport loving women, because it also has body monitoring sensors to help the ladies keep those fine shapes.

5 . What You See is What You Get Concept

One thing is for sure about this concept phoneÃ¢â?¬Â¦they could’ve named it shorter. Designed by Pei-Hua Hang, the phone’s name comes from the fact that this concept no longer uses an LCD as viewfinder for the digital camera, instead it uses a transparent frame. And of course, interaction is made through a touchscreen

6 . Retroxis By Dark Label

If most phones presented here will never be sold in store for sure, the Retroxis concept phone from Dark Label looks kinda human, and makes us hope we’ll be able to get one of these one day. Designed by Lim Sze Tat the phone is encased in high polished polycarbonate renowned for its lightweight and toughness and has an invisible OLED display that silently hides away when inactive

7 . Benq-Siemens “The Blackbox”

Black Box designed by Benq-Siemens uses a touch screen as its keypad and, depending on the functions you are using, the touch screen changes the control layout immediately.

8 . NEC Tag

Somehow similar to the Snaked concept, the NEC Tag is a flexible phone concept that can be , for example, hung from a belt or wrapped around the user’s arm. Interesting is that the phone has shape-memorizing material and sensors that allows the phone to change its shape according to the mode

9 . TripleWatch

Though the idea of a cellphone watch is not so new, the TripleWatch designed by Manon Maneenawa has an interesting triple flip technique that allows the user to transform the watch into a normal cellphone. When used as a wrist watch, the phone has a speaker button that allows the user to answer the phone and hang up while driving.

10 . Asus Aura

On the topic of SEO, what actually really works… is there a killer technique to blow away the competition and steal the traffic? Not usually. However, under certain circumstances, it is possible to take advantage of your existing content and use this to give you an edge. In particular I am thinking about link-bait and its careful use in a site which has strong content on a certain subject. The problem with link-bait is that it needs to have that critical x-factor as well as having reached the inbound link critical mass, beyond which it effectively generates it’s own links and becomes a self-propagating link building system. A fair bit of work is usually required to get to this stage. However, there is a way to utilise your existing site strengths to leverage your link bait to that critical mass. As a working example, let us focus on a fictional new site which specialises in selling gourmet food. It has many many competitors and decides to use a link-baiting strategy to boost it’s PR and traffic. How does it go about this?

Here is the strategy. First, create some tools which are popular on your chosen subject, in this example it could be:

a calorie counter script (to work out how many calories your food contains)

a script to determine the carbon footprint of the manufacturing process of a certain foodstuff

a script to tell you which foods are free from a combination of allergy-inducing ingredients

The main point is that the scripts should in themselves be useful and already successful on other sites. Perform a search on Google to get an idea of which scripts/topics (in your chosen area) are most popular. Now, these already-existing scripts are popular and competitive, many sites have them, so we need to specialise a little further. What you need to do is find the most popular scripts which are housed in sites that are more general than the script topic, and rewrite them (to avoid plagiarism).
In this example, I would want to find the most popular scripts which are hosted in sites that are not about food (carbon-footprint scripts would fit this criteria, so let us focus on this). It sounds like a lost cause, but actually it is not, there are many cases of top tools being hosted in more general type sites. The crux of this strategy is that you choose a tool which is predominantly hosted on pages/sites, which have less naturally occuring keyword-rich content than your own site.

In this example, I could decide to create a page on my example site with my own scripts on carbon-footprint calculations for ethanol crop production (which is becoming a hot topic). Other sites’ carbon-footprint scripts are surrounded by content on global warming and the like. My site, which contains many terms related to the production of ethanol providing crops, such as sugar beet etc (all food related terms), will be in a relatively strong position to compete against these more popular sites for keyword phrases connected with the use of food for producing energy. In this case it is a topical subject, your content is more relevant to the tool in question and hence you stand a good change of Google ranking your tool quite highly for popular keywords. The end result is that your tool could rise up the rankings and displace higher PR sites with similar tools. Once you do that, your link-bait is there for the taking and has exposure to people who are looking for it.
Once people can find your tool in the SERP’s, they will naturally link to it from their blogs etc. The knock-on positive effects could be dramatic as the inbound links raise your PR and swell your traffic.

Pay per Click advertising campaigns can be one of the most effective forms on online marketing.

This PPC training course will help you understand exactly how to avoid those pitfalls and deliver a highly effective online campaign delivering impressive results at minimum cost.

When people are searching for information on the Internet, the queries they enter into search engines and directories are comprised of keywords and keyphrases. The keywords and keyphrases that we think they use and what they actually use can be two very different things.

Here’s a couple of tools that I use to help determine keyword structure in content that I am developing:

Overture search term suggestion tool

Overture is the world’s largest PPC (Pay Per Click) networks. They provide a tool for their advertisers to help them gauge keyword popularity in relation to searches on their network, but you don’t need to have an account with them to use it:

Word Tracker:

This is a premium service, but you can get a free trial. Word Tracker is the favorite tool of many SEM and SEO professionals.

Word Tracker compiles a database of terms that people search for. You enter some keywords, and Word Tracker will tell you how often people search for them, and also tell you how many competing sites use those keywords.

Choosing the correct keywords and phrases for your site content can mean the difference between your site being buried in the SERPs (Search Engine Results Pages) or making the first page. It’s crucial that your site is listed within the first 30 results for as many of your industry keyphrases as possible.
